I was troubled with the same question and found this link. Apparently, your solution isn't bad designed at all. According to the ticket discussion Django won't provide this functionality.

You could use urlobject or furl.

The other way, is to use your own function to do this, in a much more cleaner way. Here's the one stated in the discussion

from django.utils.http import urlencode
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse as original_reverse

def reverse(*args, **kwargs):
    get = kwargs.pop('get', {})
    url = original_reverse(*args, **kwargs)

    if get:
        url += '?' + urlencode(get)

    return url

In the question's case, it can be used the following way

from [myfunctions] import reverse
...
reverse('login', get={next: reverse(redirect)})
